In this interview, Arnie
Gundersen discusses the anniversary of the nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi
nuclear power plant and its ongoing effects on the Japanese people. He mentions that the Japanese government has been
slowly disclosing the facts ever since the accidents occurred, and points out that
contamination go well beyond Fukushima prefecture; even Tokyo is 250km from the
plant. Entire north of the country has a
public health hazardous there.
UN atomic energy chief
has said the meaningful steps have been taken to strengthen the global nuclear safety
since the Fukushima disaster. But he agrees with
the Greenpeace statement that no lessons have been learned so far in the USA, and
the worldwide.
He mentions that his biggest concerns are in the
developing countries where there is really close relationship between the people
on the power plant and supposed the regulators , even closer than Japan so we are
waiting for many accidents to happen. Fukushima
was not a one-of-a-kind phenomenon.
